*When the default features of the Netra j 3.0 software are installed on the Netra j 3.0 server. 

If additional client-server software is installed, such as that on the Netra(TM) Ready(TM) CD, more disk space is needed. Refer to the that software's documentation for disk space requirements.


Note -

If you download the Netra j 3.0 software from the Web, you will need an additional 280 megabytes of temporary disk space in a download directory.


To verify your free disk space, type this command as the superuser:


# df -lk

If the system to be configured as a Netra j 3.0 server is not already part of a functional network, then you will need a CD-ROM drive, monitor, keyboard, and mouse for installation and initial configuration. If the system is already part of a network, these tasks can be performed from a client.

Though not necessary, an internal diskette drive and an external tape drive are helpful accessories. An internal diskette drive enables you to back up the Netra j 3.0 server configuration onto removable media, for secure storage. An external tape drive enables you to back up portions of the Netra j 3.0 server file system.

Software

The system to be configured as a Netra j 3.0 server must contain the following software:

Before You Start

Before obtaining the Netra j 3.0 software for installation or upgrade, certain aspects of the software are considered. Additionally, the Network Computer Configuration Form is filled out.

Solaris Special Conditions

Web Server and Web Browser Special Conditions

Proxy Cache Special Conditions

A proxy cache enables the Netra j 3.0 server to place web pages that are frequently visited by users into a local cache, thereby reducing the wait time for those web pages to load. The Proxy Cache Service module of the Netra j 3.0 software is functional only if you designate a UNIX File System (UFS) exclusively for the proxy cache storage area. This file system must mount at /var/opt/SUNWcache. Ideally, an additional disk (either internal or external) is used to provide the space needed for the proxy cache service.

Instructions for adding a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) disk to the Netra j 3.0 server and configuring the Proxy Cache Service module are provided in the "Proxy Cache Reference" and "Using Proxy Cache Services" chapters of the Netra j 3.0 Administrator's Guide.

Pre-Existing NIS Master Services

When you install or upgrade to Netra j 3.0, the Network Information System (NIS) master server file, /var/yp/Makefile, is renamed to /var/yp/Makefile.orig and a Netra j 3.0 compatible /var/yp/Makefile is provided. This new file may affect the NIS master services on a system that was pre-configured as a NIS master server. To return to the previous NIS master server map contents, rename /var/yp/Makefile.orig to /var/yp/Makefile.

Network Computer Configuration Form

The "Network Computer Configuration Form " lists the information required to set up and configure network computers (NCs) in a Netra j 3.0 network environment. Complete this form before installation or upgrade of the Netra j 3.0 software. Advance preparation will make the configuration of the NCs much easier.
